Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Maxi Zoo / Fressnapf Scraper Scrapes pet food, toys, and accessories from Fressnapf.de, Europe's largest pet retail chain operating as Maxi Zoo in several countries. ### Under the hood Product detail pages contain rich JSON-LD (`Product` + `BreadcrumbList` schemas). The scraper reads these for structured data including EAN barcodes, ratings normalized to a 0-5 scale, and hierarchical category paths. Listing pages are crawled via product links matching the `/p/{slug}-{id}/` URL pattern. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | String | No | Search term (e.g., `"hundefutter"`, `"katzenstreu"`) | | `categoryUrl` | String | No | Fressnapf category URL | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Result cap (default: 100) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings | ### Output | Field | Type | Example | |-------|------|---------| | `name` | String | `"RINTI Kennerfleisch Rind 800g"` | | `brand` | String | `"RINTI"` | | `price` | Number | `3.49` | | `currency` | String | `"EUR"` | | `ean` | String | `"4000158710123"` | | `sku` | String | Fressnapf article number | | `inStock` | Boolean | `true` | | `rating` | Number | `4.7` (normalized to 0-5 scale) | | `reviewCount` | Number | `234` | | `imageUrl` | String | Product image | | `imageUrls` | Array | All product images (de-duplicated) | | `description` | String | Description with Art.Nr. prefix stripped | | `category` | String | `"Nassfutter"` | | `categories` | Array | `["Hund", "Hundefutter", "Nassfutter"]` | | `language` | String | `"de"` | ```json { "name": "RINTI Kennerfleisch Rind 800g", "brand": "RINTI", "price": 3.49, "currency": "EUR", "ean": "4000158710123", "inStock": true, "rating": 4.7, "reviewCount": 234, "category": "Nassfutter", "categories": ["Hund", "Hundefutter", "Nassfutter"], "language": "de", "url": "https://www.fressnapf.de/p/rinti-kennerfleisch-rind-800g-12345/", "scrapedAt": "2026-03-16T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Notes - The German site (fressnapf.de) is scraped, not the Maxi Zoo branded stores - Pagination uses the `currentPage` query parameter - Fressnapf often duplicates images in their listings; the scraper de-duplicates them - Descriptions have the internal "Art.Nr." prefix removed automatically # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Search for products by keyword (e.g., 'katzenfutter', 'hundeleine', 'royal canin'). The site will redirect to the best matching category or brand page. ## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`): A category page URL to scrape. Example: https://www.fressnapf.de/c/katze/katzenfutter/nassfutter/. If empty and no search query, scrapes from search. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for better reliability. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "katzenfutter", "maxResults": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchQuery": "katzenfutter" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("studio-amba/maxizoo-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
